The very first rule
That you learned in school
Was that you shouldn't try to fool
The people you're close toAnd now you're almost full grown
I really should've known
If I left you on your own
You wouldn't do like you're supposed toWhy'd you lie?Don't want to hear no alibis
Don't want to know the reasons why
You left me here to cry
While you were out there loving himAnd now you're acting real nice
You're all sugar and spice
You've already thrown the dice
Your chances are real slimWhy'd you lie?
Why'd you lie?You'd better make a correction
To all this deception and start treating me right
'Cause we had discussed it 'til I was disgusted
There's one thing that I have to say
All about sleeping in another man's bedWhy'd you lie?
Why'd you lie?The very first rule
That you learned in school
Was that you shouldn't try to fool
The people you're close toAnd now you're almost full grown
I really should've known
If I left you on your own
You wouldn't do like you're supposed toWhy'd you lie?
Why'd you lie?
Why'd you lie?
